The Rotation

Well, we've finally settled into a routine after our return from the trip.

Alex and I are pretty boring. We just rotate 4 activities all day long. We start with nursing. Then, short play and diaper changing. After that, it's time for Mommy to try to convince Alex to sleep. That takes about an hour. Finally, he succumbs and dozes off-- for 20 minutes! And then we start it all over again. In the evening, we throw in a walk and bath. It breaks up the monotony, and he likes both things.

Thank goodness for Dennis. He provides distraction from the routine as the social planner for the family. This weekend, he was on call. But, the reward for that was that he was free yesterday. So, we enjoyed a nice lunch on the porch of a restaurant downtown.

As you can tell, the adjustment from lawyer to Mommy is not easy for me. I'm grateful for all the friends & family who check in on us, invite us to activities, and offer advice. We need it all. Please keep it coming.

The photos are of bath time and nap time. Note the lengths to which I will go to get the little dude to sleep!
